American Odyssey

[MasterJedi]

1775: The American Revolution begins. Benedict Arnold captures Quebec and Montreal witch forces British forces to retreat east into New Brunswick and Nova Scotia or south into Toronto. American forces make stunning attacks on British forces in the colonies and succeeds in driving them entirely out. American troops begin fortifying the coast in anticipation of a British return in the spring.

1776: Continental Congress adopts the Declaration of Independence. American troops make a surprise attack across Lake Ontario and capture Toronto just before the spring thaw begins. The British try to land troops in the northeast but the Americans drive them off with captured heavy cannons. The British fleet retreats to Halifax and lands troops. They regroup and head toward the colony of Maine. American sympathizers in New Brunswick rise up and make it hell for the British troops.

1777: British troops have pushed into the center of Maine by mid winter but are then pinned down from fierce blizzards American sharpshooters. New Brunswick raises a militia and heads into Nova Scotia. By July Halifax is surrounded and captured. General Washington sends a message north to the militia of New Brunswick and now Nova Scotia to move south and surround the British. British forces make a vain attempt at escape but by October they have been completely routed and the British are once more out of the American mainland. The Continental Congress adopts the Articles of Confederation.

1778: Taking his forces out of Toronto Benedict Arnold splits his forces one going north and the other heading south to capture any British forts that remain. When Detroit is captured the rest of the southern forts surrender to American forces. Meanwhile Arnold in the north captures the land controlled by the Hudson Bay Company. General Charles Cornwallis lands in Virginia and quickly takes control of the colony.

1779: British troops march south and capture North and South Carolina along with Georgia. American troops begin a guerilla war against the British.

1780: Mounting casualties force the British to retreat from Georgia and South Carolina. American forces now outnumber British forces 2-1 and become bolder, striking deep into North Carolina and Virginia. An American flotilla built for the American navy by France destroys the British fleet in the Chesapeake Bay.

1781: British forces continued to be decimated until they’re surrounded. General Cornwallis surrenders to General Washington at Yorktown.

1782: Britain delays a treaty signing in hopes that they can muster another force that’s strong enough to take back all 16 colonies. American troops threaten to launch what ships they have at England.

1783: Britain, not wanting a war in the homeland signs the Treaty of Paris in September giving America complete control of everything east of the Mississippi River, the Great Lakes and Hudson Bay. The American Revolution is over; Britain’s only remaining colony is Jamaica.

A two-hundred year war?

Oops, big mistake that I can't believe I didn't catch!

1776: Continental Congress adopts the Declaration of Independence. American troops make a surprise attack across Lake Ontario and capture Toronto just before the spring thaw begins.

That’s quite a feat, considering that there was no Toronto in 1776.   Fort Rouillé on the present site of Toronto had been abandoned in 1759, and while it is plausible that retreating British and Loyalist forces could have chosen to regroup there.  Its capture would have been seen as too unimportant to waste someone with Arnold’s talents in its accomplishments.

1776: American sympathizers in New Brunswick rise up and make it hell for the British troops.

1777: New Brunswick raises a militia and heads into Nova Scotia.

Oh, you deluded Rebel fool.  There was no New Brunswick during the American revolt, and those who lived there had no desire to be Rebels.  (They also mostly had no desire to fight for the crown, but the idea of Rebel partisans harrying British troops in Nova Scotia is ludicrous.)

1780: An American flotilla built for the American navy by France destroys the British fleet in the Chesapeake Bay.

I’d continue on with my criticism, but with this entry, it is quite apparent that you aren’t engaged in a serious alternate history here but more a fantasy unhampered by the constraints of reality or logic.  Such fantasy can be entertaining, but it doesn’t deserve close scrutiny.

1. Arnold didn't go south, he split up his troops, he went north.

2. Seeing as how it's alternative history you're going a little too much into it. And in the future it will delve a lot more into history.

3. It was a flotilla, a small number of ships, NOT A FLEET!!! A smaller number of people can beat a large number with good sound strategy!

Just pointing that out, don't need to get any flaming started here!
